Fire Dancer

I was watching the firelight play over the logs in the wood stove this evening, when I thought I saw a fiery little creature dancing. I ran to the table, grabbed my camera, jumped back to the hearth and clicked the shutter. To my utter amazement there she was, the Fire Faery.

As you can see from the untouched photo above, I didn't have to enhance her very much!

Daddy Update: Great news! Dad has formally been discharged from the wound specialist. The top of his head is completely healed. He has also been fitted for a more comfortable neck collar to support his still-broken neck.

.

However, Dad is still having flashbacks to his time in the prison camp--they are even more vivid than before. Yesterday Dad went to the VA Hospital for some tests to find out why. I would appreciate your continued prayers for the healing of Dad's neck and the cessation of those flashbacks. Mom would appreciate your prayers, too. This is all very hard for her.

As well as your clouds (I always think of them as YOUR clouds. When I look at clouds and see something within, I always think there is Beth's friend); you capture such in fire too.You help me see more.

Oh to sit by a warm and comforting fire. You do have the best timing and eyes to capture the hearts of clouds and now fires, and all things nature. You're being called by them I think, softly and sweetly called. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Praise for the healing that has occurred and Prayers for the healing yet needed. May God Bless you and your family with Hope, Healing, Comfort and Grace and may His Love Shine upon you and yours always. Happy Thanksgiving. Love and Light, Nina P

About Me

My mother, Author Eva Gibson, says,"Everybody loves a story." These are the untold stories hidden behind each piece of my artwork. Some are whimsical or sad, others funny. There are stories rooted in science fiction and fairytales--some classical, others born from my imagination. Many pieces reflect my love for the Creator. Often, hidden behind my art, are stories from real life experiences. Indeed, over the years I've discovered the old saying is true. "Truth IS often stranger than fiction."

A midget who told me, when I was depressed about people making fun of me because we had no money and no new clothes and I was wearing everything second handed. He told me, "You are the only one in the world, make the most of it." -- Abe Lincoln, Artist, photographer (Ohio)

My Camera and Me

I carry my camera everywhere I go. Here you see one of my Cloud Paintings. I find unusual shapes, faces, animals in just about everything, especially clouds. Often I am able to enhance or "paint" my photos so others can see what my imagination has revealed.

What an honor to be a featured artist for this wonderful webpage!

This is a link to my favorite book reviewer. Rena Lanyon gives a well-written review from a youthful perspective.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I have not a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me Lord."-- Darlene Pringle, Artist

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass....it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

You've Got Heart Award

Life should be measured not by the number of years, but the love shared, the memories made, the joy given, the blessings received.
